One of the first things I learned when I came to the United States was TGIF. Here they like to use letters for different things. There is a restaurant called TGIFriday’s. I thought that is what TGIF stood for. No, it means people are happy the work-week is almost over and they can have a fun (hopefully) weekend.

T Thank G God I it’s F Friday

I would say, IIAF! Is it already Friday? I need double the size of a week! I’ve been working 10 hours a day on the project for orphans and children at risk and however I make my calculations it seems I’m not going to make the deadline. I get caught up in thinking about these children and it takes me “forever” to get a lesson done. “Forever” is stretching it a bit. But you get what I mean, don’t you?

The highlight of the week has been the snow. We don’t get so much snow in this area. Look at the map and you will see where I live. The heaviest snow fell in the Kansas area.

The pictures are taken from my windows. The morning it snowed the most I took 50 pictures! I must be crazy. I love pictures and I love snow!

Now I have my friend Marcia here and she will go with me to do some errands. I have saved everything for today, so I have someone to help me. My feet are not very stable, so I have to be extra careful in wintery weather.

I hope you have a good day and a good weekend. When Monday comes around, guess what I’ll say? TGIM! Thank God It’s Monday! I can’t wait for the new workweek to start!

About kelund

My name is Kerstin Anderas-Lundquist. I was born in Sweden to Per & Brita Anderas, on March 6, 1946. In 1948 we left to begin a missionary life in Chile; in 1956 we moved on to Peru.
On May 1, 1969 I married an all-Swedish guy from Karslkrona: Bengt Göran Emanuel Lundquist. God blessed us with two daughters: Eva-Marie Elizabeth and Ruth Carina. We served as missionaries in Peru and Bolivia.
In 1988 we moved to the United States to work at Life Publishers in Miami, Florida. I was to assist in developing the line of Sunday School Curriculm in Spanish known as Vida Nueva.
I live in Springfield, Missouri, and am retired from work at the Assemblies of God Headquarters. My husband and daughter Eva-Marie have been promoted to Heaven. Carina is married to Thom Cole and they have given me four gourgeous grandchildren, even five (teen-age John).
I will be writing about my life, past and present, blended with visions for the future. My deepest desire is to spread the “seed of love”–inspiration to serve God and our neighbors with love and compassion.
